Team Members Volunteering out on Embsay Moor

Andy and Tony volunteering planting Sphagnum Moss

The Penmann ‘Day off to Volunteer’ programme is back! Andy Wilson and Tony Walton teamed up to spend a day out on the moors above Barden and Skipton.

The task? Planting Sphagnum moss to help retain the water on the moorland and encourage peat bogs to thrive; a massively important feature of any moorland for local ecosystems, biodiversity and carbon capture.

The guys planted around 800 plugs between them – although there is in ongoing debate as to who planted the most! Rivalry is good! Their payment for the day will be donated to Sue Ryder’s Wheatfields Hospice Leeds which Penmann has been pleased to support in the past.

The company organising the planting was Conservefor Ltd from High Bentham in Lancaster run by Gareth Edwards – the UK’s leading peatland restoration contractor. A tough day but massively rewarding and the weather wasn’t too bad either!

The Penmann volunteering day is part of our Team Engagement programme. Each team member can volunteer to help a charity of their choice and are given the day off to do whatever this entails.

Testimonials

“This project was my first experience of working with Penmann and I found them to be extremely knowledgeable and flexible, particularly at design stage. The project delivery was very good with great attention to detail paid to the design, overseen by an exceptional project management team. The build quality was excellent. We would certainly use Penmann again on future projects”.

The service you provide through Penmann is always thorough, thoughtful and designed for a duty and service level that reflects the demanding 24/7/364 days operation we run here, and we therefore always call you first when manufacturing problems need specialised and bespoke HVAC solutions.

Robin Wright, Projects Manager, Bakkavor Desserts Newark

We are very happy with the cooling tunnels designed and supplied by Penmann. All projects have been undertaken in an extremely efficient manner and have been delivered on time and on budget, and we have been particularly pleased with the performance of the tunnels.

Stephen Graves Factory Engineering Manager, Müller Dairy

We found Penmann to have an excellent understanding not only of air conditioning and refrigeration but also of the production process and the logistics that surround it. All timescales were achieved and the systems are working well. I would have no hesitation in recommending Penmann to others.

David Underdown, Sales Director, Rachels Dairy

We have worked with Penmann on projects across all our UK sites. Their attention to detail is evident throughout each project.

The phrase ‘Turnkey Solution’ is used extensively in projects, but never has it been better suited than for describing a project by Penmann.
